Topic: Adding a Character Return at position 780? (1 of 3), Read 40 times Conf: Converting, Translating From: Matthew Fisk Date: Monday, November 01, 2004 11:18 AM I have a file (Credit reporting) but must have a character return at position 780. However the file was created without these returns. I have gone in and under config/file handling to tell it the record length is 780 so it now lines up nicely in the program. However what can I do to get a character return into the file at that position? Any help would be appreciated.

Assuming you have VEDIT 6.10 or later, simply select {FILE, Wysiwyg conversion} and enter a new filename for the converted file. Ted.
